Volcano Finops

FinOps view of Volcano - the project itself has no licensing or invoice surface (Apache 2.0, CNCF incubating). Costs of running Volcano- scheduled workloads accrue at the underlying compute, GPU, network, and storage layers of the host Kubernetes cluster (cloud or on-prem). The FinOps levers are queue capacity, gang-schedule efficiency, and bin-packing of batch workloads onto the underlying infrastructure.
